Why Every Woman Should Aspire To Be Elle Woods
Her Campus

Reese Witherspoon played Elle Woods in the hit movie Legally Blonde. Elle thought her life was all planned out. She could not wait for her hot boyfriend, Warner to propose. Unfortunately, he broke up with her which led Elle to attend Harvard law school to win him back. Elle learns more about herself in those three years than she ever thought would be possible. She is someone all women should aspire to be.

1. She goes after what she wants.

She wanted Warner back, so what did she do? She studied her butt off and was accepted into Harvard Law. When she got into Harvard she was determined to make Warner see what he was missing, so she pushed herself and excelled in the classroom. On top of that she got the internship the entire law school wanted and won the case for the whole firm. Take that Warner!

2. She does not let anyone take advantage of her.

She is treated like the stereotypical dumb blonde sorority girl, but we know that Elle is much more than that. She does not let anyone get the best of her. She is a role model for us all teaching us all to stand up for ourselves.

3. She’s a true friend.

When her sorority sister Brook was in jail, Elle went to visit her and get her alibi, but swore she would never tell. She is someone we can all trust. We could tell her all our secrets and should would never ever tell them, not even if it meant being partner at one of the best law firms in Massachusetts.

4. She has an amazing fashion sense.

Sure, there is more to a woman than what clothes she wears, but a killer fashion sense is an added bonus. There is nothing that reads confidence more than a woman wonderfully dressed. That is our girl Elle!

5. She doesn’t let boys get the best of her.

Elle may have gone to Harvard initially in hopes of winning Warner back, but she wound up succeeding there for herself. She learned she did not need a man to have a bright future. Way to go Elle!

6. She is always herself.

Elle rocks pink better than anyone I have ever known. She always stayed true to herself whether it was in the courtroom, the classroom, the sorority or the salon. Elle always was herself. The best you is the true you and not society’s desire for you. She teaches us that if we really want something we can achieve it. Elle is someone all women aspire to be because she is simply fearless. With a little splash of pink, she could conquer the world.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
